Corn Grower* Have Big Yield*. The first prize in the Jasper county 5 acre corn growing club has been won by Henry Paulus of Newton township who grew 97.5 bushels of corn to the acre. Mr. Paulus described his method of growing this corn as follows: j “The ground used was a clay , loam which had been in clover last year. This spring I gave it a rather heavy application of manure before plowing. I used about 200 pounds of 1-8-2 fertilizer drilled in the row. The seed was all ear-tested. I planted early and had almost a~~perfect stand. I kept it clean all summer and removed suckers from the stalks in the fall.” Mr. Paulus, with this yield, is entitled to a silver medal awarded by the Indiana Corn Growers’ association. Mr. John E. Alter, of Union township, produced 76 bushels per acre on his five acre plot and will receive a bronze medal from the state association. Several members of the county club have secured from 65 to 75 bushels per acre, which is below the standard required for recogni-, tion, and have requested that their names be withheld.

the county five acre club is to promote increased yields of corn on each acre devoted to the crop, and the members feel that it has accomplished its purpose this year. Lime Gives Good Results. Stephen Kohley, of Marion township, has just announced the results of a lime trial which he has been conducting on his farm near Pleasant Ridge. In the spring of 1917 Mr. Kohley applied lime to strips of his land, leaving check strips beside them. This year he had the land in corn and obtained a yield of 3,550 pounds of corn per acre on the limed strips and 3,025 pounds on the unlimed land, a difference of 525 pounds per acre or enough to pay for the total cost of the application, which may be expected to give good results for several years. Mr. Kohley also ran a test with slag against a home made fertilizer, which consisted largely of wood ashes and acid phosphate. The slag strip yielded at the rate of 4,525 pounds of corn per acre while the home-made fertilizer produced but 4,150 pounds per acre. A neighbor compared an application of 310 pounds of slag per acre with 200 pounds of acid phosphate. The land receiving the slag produced 3,750 pounds of corn per acre, while the acid phosphate produced but 3,350 pounds. These illustrations are given for the purpose of stimulating greater interest in fertilizer observations at the present time. Practically every farmer who used fertilizer these days is leaving a check strip of some kind or other and now is the time to look up the results. Should potash not be obtainable for next spring planting, information or substitutes collected this fall will be a valuable guide in the selection of the fertilizer supply. More Good Hogs.

Wood Brothers, of Marion township, have purchased a pair of excellent Spotted Poland China hogs from Giver Perrigo, of Illinois. These were sired by Beaver Lad, one of the truly great boars of the breed. This boar has been shown extensively the last year and has never been defeated in the show ring. He was awarded the Grand Championship of the Watseka Show against 240 entries of all breeds. Wood Brothers are rapidly building up a reputation as breeders of good livestock and are to be congratulated upon their latest purchase. After the Shouting and Tumult Die*. Now that every resistance has crumbled in Europe, and peace has been declared, must not tempt us to relax our efforts. The American strength lies in food conservation, and now that peace is here, new obligations will fall upon us. We shall be called upon not to save less food but more. American has pledged to send to the armies and allies this year 50 per cent more than last year. We must increase our efforts by onehalf. We are called upon to help our starving enemy. With this added responsibility, food has become quite an item. It is hoped the public will co-operate by eliminating all waste, not only reduce rations but reduce purchases. Fqod should not be eaten from force of habit or pleasure. Eat plenty wisely without waste. Protect health and strength. Save food. Sugar Allowance. When the sugar allowance was cut to two pounds per person per month, it was with the promise to increase the household allowance at the earliest possible moment. Accordingly, the household allowance is increased to three pounds per person per month. This possibly is due to the rapid manufacture of the new beet sugar in the west, the new crop of cane sugar in the south, together with freer transportation. Of no less importance is the patriotic conservation in the past four months which enables the food administration to increase the allowance at this time. We ought not to complain on this amount when our neighboring country, Canada, is allowed half as much. One and one-half pounds per person per month.

old, caused much excitement at Moose Lake, Minn., recently, when it walked into town and scratched the back door of a restaurant. The cook thought it was the owner's dog. Her discovery that it was not began a series of activities in the kitchen which could have been equaled only by the bursting of a high explosive shell. When the cause of the disturbance was learned, the men of the town formed an escort and drove the cub back to its haunts. Bears are protected by law, and for that reason it wasnot killed.
